Der Winter dauerte 24 Jahre

The volume brings together the main works and the estate of the author Marie T. Martin, who passed away in November 2021. In addition to stories and short prose, it includes the highly regarded poetry collections 'Wisperzimmer' and 'Rückruf'. The collection of short prose left behind by Marie T. Martin also gives the volume its title: 'The Winter Lasted 24 Years'. This final work of Marie T. Martin demonstrates the highest concentration and enchanting creativity. The possibilities of the miniature are explored in a playful yet poetic manner: from quirky pieces to artful parodies. There are lyrical correspondences, letters to the self, matchbox texts, and invented dialects. This range of variation between poetry and irony, between clever distance and reflective closeness, is characteristic of Marie T. Martin's work. Here she shows herself at the height of her creative powers. Contents: Air Mail (Stories), Wisperzimmer (Poems), Rückruf (Poems), How Dare You (Short Prose), The Winter Lasted 24 Years (Estate, Short Prose).
